i haven't come across that guy yet fortunately.  but the legendary enemies do all regenerate their health, can't say for sure if your death claw was loving those rads or not though.  it'll usually say 'legendary regenerating health' on your screen when they do it & they'll have a kinda misty/gooey look about them after doing it.

Okay - tried again, he was around half health, fired the nuke at him. Became full health. Said "Legendary Enemy has Mutated". Fired a second nuke at him, took it to a bit above half health (again). Only have 2 nukes so that was that.

Obviously ended up giving up on that... kept going east and avoided that area. Found a friendly Mirelurk King, jumped out of nowhere, scared the shit out of me and then killed me with 2 swipes. Mad looking creature though - pity I didn't get to observe him for very long.

That character customization though.. 5 hours later and i get to start playing (Lol not really, just seemed like that).
Brutal opening though, havent done much but have enjoyed so far.
This isnt one of those games i can accidentally kill an important NPC and have my gamed fucked over later is it haha?

Possibly. I'd be very careful. If they have a name (like John), that means they're someone you shouldn't shoot/kill... unless they are a bad dude... they can have names as well if they're a leader (usually).

Suicide Super Mutants scare me.

Yeah - ran from them quite a few times. The Super Mutants don't seem to be as tough as they were in Fallout 3 though. I can drop them in two to three usually.

Got a few hours in yesterday and had to make some tough calls finally, not sure how close to the 'end' of the main story I am but I will definitely need a second playthrough, maybe even a 3rd

Faction siding type tough calls? Apparently you have to go one of them towards the end. I don't know how close though. I should probably start doing some missions but I've been looking at some of the mods where you can have 'far' more items to build with and 'unlimited' building. Also proper wood planters...

Settlement Supplies Extended

Wood Planters

Still very early days in the modding department as well.

Yeah just the typical fallout big decision type thing.  I avoided it for a few hours but made my call in the end.  You kinda know it has to come at some point, and you can avoid it for a while too.

[GraphicX]

that's when you run multiple save files so you can do all the endings xD

i dunno if you'll need those supply mods gc, as you grow settlements the settlers collect supplies for crafting & you can build scavenger box things for them to add to that supply as well.  as i said earlier i've only ever ran out of glue, cork & ceramic really so i always make a point of collecting baseballs, wonderglue, duct tape & coffee cups etc.

I think you missed the point of the mod. It adds hundreds of new objects to use. Furniture, doors, rocks, cars, trees, power armour racks, food planters etc. Can also eliminate the building cap you have for each area so you can build a fucking city (if your computer can handle it).

Did a little bit of modding to it last night. There's a HUD fix for ultra wide now so I'm not playing with black boxes (yay). Also removed the frame rate cap and changed the FOV - game seems to run a hell of a lot smoother now (probably 60+). Gonna download the Extended Settlement Supplies tonight and have a look at it. Will have a look what else there is but it's still too early for anything major to be released.

[Jykel]

The stuff we dont get on consoles aye

I have finished the main story on the 1st character, so started a 2nd last night  (All luck, charisma and some strength).  Will focus on settlements and avoiding combat and see how I go.

Spent the 1st 2 hours just cleaning up sanctuary, still not finished . . .

@ gc; does the modding affect steam achievements etc ?  i might try some on a 2nd play through, but wanna play the game as it was designed first.

@ jyks; i thought modding on the consoles (at least the xbox) was supported now ??

[Jykel]

ohhh will have to do some googling if thats the case Graph

Unsure mate - I don't really care for that sort of stuff (achievements). What I'm modding into it is not cheating anyway... it's just adding extra content eg. The new objects you will still have to have materials to build/use them. Later there'll be texture mods... there already are but they're more optimised textures rather than alternate or bigger ones etc. Likewise with ENB mods... they'll eventually come as well and the game will look near photorealistic like Skyrim did. There'll also be mods for making it more hardcore as well - survival ones where you have to hunt and eat... had those modded into Skyrim. You could also be affected by the weather and die (because Skyrim was cold) so clothing and camp fires (which you had to build) became a big part.

Play it vanilla first though.

EDIT - here's your answer.... and it's no apparently....

If you are going to mod it - I recommend watching this guys tutorials... he's very thorough and a modder himself, although very slow the way he does his things (which is probably a good thing).

Nexus Mod Manager Tutorials.

Modding Fallout 4

https://www.youtube....gzYt7u6WSh07m4A

If you want to unlock your framerate and change FOV etc just type it into youtube and they'll show you what files you need to change.

Modding isn't difficult - it apparently used to be but with Nexus Mod Manager, once you have set up Fallout 4 for modding - 'most' mods will be as simple as downloading to the manager and activating them. There will be mods that conflict with each other, you'll need to change the load order and you may need to copy/paste a line of code into an ini file or something like that here and there so I suggest reading the notes for each mod you install... but for the most part, simple download and activate.

have had some top night playing F4.  some highlights off the top of my head;

- came across BoS fully engaged with some supermutant hang out.  there were 2 legendary mutants & another had an actual name & skull next to it (very high level), of the bunch 4 had miniguns.  the BoS were getting hammered & their vertibird was just swooping in & out.  i chucked in an artillery flare & all hell broke loose.  watching all of it was fairly realistic as far as these things go, unfortunately my artillery barrage (which was coming in from 2 directions so i'm thinking 2 settlements bombed it) caused the vertibird to loose control & it ended up ditching in to the buildings.  i managed to clear out the last of the greenskins & loot them xD

- there's some behemoth that seems to respawn & he's surrounded by tons of feral ghouls.  twice now i've come across him, once they were tied up fighting raiders, the second he could focus on me.  both times i settled it with artillery flares & watched the show, ghouls getting splattered & the behemoth getting crippled so i could finish him off.

- started another 'relationship', appears you can have more than one 'lover' in the game which is sweet hehe.  new girl is called piper & she's pretty well the opposite of cait in terms of personality/lines spoken.  i have noticed now that cait's lines are nowhere near as playful since starting a relationship with cait, but i still get the 'lovers embrace' boost from her if she's near lol.

- found i could steal the fusion core out of a BoS knight's power armour, causing them to abandon it & then i could use it without penalty (other than X character hates that type thing coming up when i steal).  but then any power suit parts i place on the frame are then red if i remove them so i've dumped the suit & just kept the bits for it.

- have entered a radiation area searching for someone & it feels tons more like F3 or vegas.  tons of scorpions, more a total wasteland type scene but everything is irradiated & i've had to leadline a power suit to explore there.

Played it zero over the weekend. No time tonight either unfortunately.

[I_live_4_fun]

Stayed up until about 2am playing this morning . So far, I still haven't made it to Diamond City yet (though I died trying to do one of the side missions close to there and lost that progress) since I've still been messing around with settlement building and doing Minutemen missions. I've also been gearing up my settlers with armour and weapons that I've looted since discovering that I could, hehe, as well as modding some guns to make them extra cool.

I had trouble in one of the "clear the raiders" missions though where there was a raider in power armour and it was really hard to do much damage to him. He was throwing grenades at me, and it probably would have taken most of my ammo supply to take him down so I gave up for a bit. But one time when I was escaping the danger I noticed a deathclaw nearby and decided last night to see if I could pit the deathclaw against the Power Armour dude.... And it worked! It was scary luring the deathclaw to come closer to the raider establishment especially since I wasn't wearing any Power Armour myself, hehe. But it would stop after a bit each time when it lost sight of me so when it got close enough, I then started to lure the raiders in as well. The Power Armour raider kept taunting me on his way up, lol, then when he finally came close enough, I shot at the deathclaw and he came running and attacked the raider. It was pretty cool watching the battle unfold since they did a fair chunk of damage to one another. I felt so evil, just watching them fight through my sniper rifle scope . The deathclaw managed to win and then scurried off to hide and recover but I killed it off too... I kind of feel bad about that now since it technically helped me. I did score a set of power armour from looting that raider though and finished off the rest of the mission fairly easily afterwards...

I'm pretty surprised that I am still actually enjoying this game a lot, especially just to sit back and relax. Really glad I bought it and am just taking my time with it .

I think that's the luring factor for me - it's really not that intensive, it can be if you want it to be but you can just wander around and build etc and choose what you're in the mood for. Probably why I haven't made much progress - too much of a relaxing choice of gameplay. haha.
